Tune into this invaluable hobby
Telangana Today reports amateur radio, a key wireless communication
facility, is little known among the public, and remembered by
administrators only in times of disasters
>From a friend in the neighbourhood to an astronaut floating in outer
space, this radio can keep everyone connected. Yet, this personal
hobby that doubles up as an extremely handy tool for disaster
management remains in the shadows.
Interesting, easy to get trained and affordable to own and use, Ham
radio has less than 1,000 enthusiasts making use of it in Hyderabad.
“The potential of amateur radio is not appreciated in the country. In
a global community of 3 million Hams (amateur radio operators), less
than 30,000 are from India,φ laments S Ram Mohan VU2MYH, Director, the
National Institute of Amateur Radio (NIAR), Hyderabad.
All that one needs to become a Ham is to clear an examination and
receive a license from the Wireless Planning & Coordination (WPC) wing
of the Ministry of Communications.
